net: mctp: Ensure keys maintain only one ref to corresponding dev
mctp_flow_prepare_output() is called in mctp_route_output(), which places outbound packets onto a given interface. The packet may represent a message fragment, in which case we provoke an unbalanced reference count to the underlying device. This causes trouble if we ever attempt to remove the interface: [ 48.702195] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 2 [ 58.883056] unregister_netdevice: waiting for mctpusb0 to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 69.022548] unregister_netdevice: waiting for mctpusb0 to become free. Usage count = 2 [ 79.172568] unregister_netdevice: waiting for mctpusb0 to become free. Usage count = 2 ... Predicate the invocation of mctp_dev_set_key() in mctp_flow_prepare_output() on not already having associated the device with the key. It's not yet realistic to uphold the property that the key maintains only one device reference earlier in the transmission sequence as the route (and therefore the device) may not be known at the time the key is associated with the socket.
